One of the different factors influencing the web search is the location where the search is conducted. Not that it is of overall importance, but quite often the set of answers to a query will differ according to the specific region.

We here inquire into the quality of the search conducted from different cities of Russia. The analyzer's queries are entered by the servers located in ten cities standing as far away as Krasnodar and Vladivostok. Then the results are tested to see if they are region-appropriate.

To fill such an analyzer you have to sort out queries very carefully. For example, it is possible that a user looking for a "North Star" is really keen to find out anything about a restaurant three blocks away, but it is more likely that he searches for some information concerning the celestial body. On the contrary, "train schedule" in most cases is a region-dependent query. To make an unbiased evaluation of the local search quality we only use such queries as must be answered on the basis of local data.
